Nelson shares ‘Color Literacy’ presentation Dick Nelson will discuss color terminology and introduce the true primary colors of pigment and light during a presentation titled “Color Literacy” 7-9 p.m. Thursday at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village. The presentation will focus on color terminology and introduce the true primary colors of pigment and light. This will include color deception and interaction, color transformation, colored films and veils and color constancy.
